We're a bit late to the party, but for those who haven't seen on the Internet, today is a protest day for Net Neutrality, where sites across the internet are disrupting their normal operations to get the word out and get people to send a message. Ars Technica already has a fairly decent summary of who's doing what, and we stand with them and the rest of the Internet.
Due to real life issues, I was late on getting this together, but for the rest of the day, this article will remain on the top of the page and we will be blacking the theme of the site in protest [Technical issues among others precluded our doing so today --martyb].
If you're a US citizen, and want to get the word out, check Battle for the Net, and get the word out. In addition, there are long discussions going on reddit and other sites throughout the internet
Let's get the word out!

I was speaking from personal experience. I don't remember GTE as a kid, but I primarily grew up in NYC and Westchester where it was NYNEX and BellAtlantic primarily. GTE based on Google had more of the rest of the state.
GTE itself wasn't a baby bell, it was one of the few independent companies in that era that could go head to head with the Bell System in its markets.
Still always moving

Right, GTE wasn't a Baby Bell. When Bell Atlantic gobbled up GTE, the two became Verizon. Just picking a nit. :)
